Academic Advisory Service

This page contains automatically translated content.

We support prospective and current students in the orientation process, in decision-making and in study crises - confidentially, free of charge and open-ended. The focus is on the personal concerns of those seeking advice. We also provide advice on paths beyond the University of Kassel and take into account individual circumstances (e.g. disability or chronic illness, family and care responsibilities, university entrance without a high school diploma, etc.).

This is how we advise:

Personal counseling sessions take place at the Holländischer Platz campus(directions to the campus). In addition, we offer web appointments via Zoom and - on request - telephone counseling (note: no visual information can be exchanged over the phone).

Duration: 45 minutes per consultation, follow-up appointments possible.

Our professional attitude corresponds to the understanding of counseling of the Gesellschaft für Information, Beratung, und Therapie an Hochschulen e.V. (GIBeT).
